The power of moms as activists is being proven again by the Wall of Moms protesting in Portland. Stereotypes about gender, as well as race, have long played a role in shaping that power — as well as who gets to wield it.
And today, the motherhood label is on many prominent protest groups well beyond the Wall of Moms: There's the Mothers of the Movement, a group of Black women whose children have been killed by gun violence or police; Moms Against Senseless Killing aims to prevent violence; and Moms Demand Action advocates for gun control."There's the one image of the mother at home, you know, very quiet taking care of her business.
